The fact is that we have been so engrossed in the work which we have been trying to do through our own International Solidarity Fund, and more latterly in raising money for the maintenance of the Basque Children, that we had come to take the continuance of the work of the Scottish Unit more or less for granted, that I had not thought that any communication from me was required.
As time has gone on, the raising of funds has somewhat naturally become more difficult, and
